Texas Rangers DH Mitch Garver joined WFAA's Joe Trahan before Game 3 of the World Series.
After the Diamondbacks’ 9-1 win in Game 2, the stage is set for a response from the Rangers, who aim to bounce back with Max Scherzer.PHOENIX — Sometimes you have to tip your cap to the opposing pitcher.
In that game, the rust showed and Scherzer allowed five runs in four innings as the Astros claimed their first of three straight at Globe Life Field. In his next outing, the decisive Game 7, Scherzer still wasn’t at his best, allowing two runs in 2 ⅔ innings, but he did his job with the Texas offense already jumping on the board early in the game. That allowed Jordan Montgomery to come in and take the bulk of the starter’s load as Texas clinched the World Series berth.
The expectations for Scherzer are high, but the leash may still be short. Bruce Bochy used all five of his long relievers in the first two games in Texas – Cody Bradford, Andrew Heaney, Chris Stratton, Martin Perez, and Dane Dunning twice. Bradford was only used in Game 1, so he may get the call if Scherzer gets into trouble early. Dunning was only used for two batters in Game 2 and one inning in Game 1, and with the off day Sunday, he may be good for a couple of hitters.
